For her show at PMA, Sudnya Schroff will construct a site-specific installation: a giant wood and steel cage hung from the ceiling crammed with barbed wire, a shooting rainbow curtain and wire stick figures, the face of each a hand-crocheted flower. The stick figure flowers represent the global refugee community presently in limbo, incarcerated, waiting their turn for emancipation.

Robin Apple immerses herself in nature and her processed acrylic photographic work is the direct result. Her show incorporates abstracted, blended, collaged, and colorful images of butterflies, flowers, green plants, animals and other found objects.

Working exclusively with photographic film, Charles Anselmo's large scale prints on translucent Habotai silk reveal his take on industrial complexes, peripheral urban spaces, Cuba, post-Katrina New Orleans and the derelict military bases of California. He witnesses the urban landscape in moments of decline to photographically capture structures, which began with purpose, being broken down over time and transformed under the weight of history to become 'phenomena,' the sensory representations of everyday life.
